"Pickles" only card the w514, is difficult to find in even good condition. Christy Mathewson is the card adjacent to his in the strip card set, and most were cut with grapefruit spoons. Great, though tragic story.

"...cut with grapefruit spoons." That's hilarious and explains a lot! Thanks, Ty.

I used to have a bunch of his stuff from his widow. He died shortly after being married to her and she lived another 80 years or something and never remarried!

That's a beauty, Tony. I wonder if anyone could have imagined those pulp cards would be around nearly a hundred years later. Much less slabbed as a 60 EX by a TPG!
